Grades
All Russwood flooring is manufactured using high-quality raw material. This ensures that grade selection is entirely an aesthetic choice rather than a reflection of performance or durability. Each timber species has a unique grading system that highlights different aspects of the wood’s natural character, from clean and uniform boards to highly expressive ones with knots and figuring. Our European Oak flooring comes in 3 distinctively different grade options.
Character Grade
Character Grade offers the most expressive look, showcasing the woods natural characteristics. Expect:
- Natural and rustic, ideal for a relaxed country core aesthetic or statement flooring
- A blend of sizeable, sound filled knots, checks and splits
- Lively figuring
Prime Grade
A balanced and refined grade, offering subtle character. Expect:
- Carefully selected boards, featuring small to medium sized knots
- A more uniform appearance, ideal for contemporary and minimalist spaces
- Delicate figuring
Prime Plus Grade
Our cleanest oak grade, ideal for ultra-modern or Scandinavian-style interiors. Expect:
- Exceptionally clear boards with only pinhole knots
- Blend of calm vertical and flame-like figuring
- Consistency in tone and figuring for a sleek, elegant finish
